That's for accounts, e.g. Assets:Current:Bank of America:Checking.

Tony is asking about ',' and '.' to separate parts of a number. That's driven by locale settings, so have a look at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Locale_Settings. Remember that GnuCash is *not* a native Windows app and doesn't understand custom settings in Region & Language.
